Digital healthcare technology aimed at eliminating blind spots in hospital patient monitoring is garnering significant attention. MEZOO, a specialized medical device company, is drawing interest from the medical community by proposing a comprehensive, continuous monitoring system through its mobile remote patient monitoring platform, 'HiCardi.'
MEZOO will participate in KIMES 2026 (Korea International Medical & Hospital Equipment Show) to showcase its patient monitoring solutions based on aRPM (Ambulatory Remote Patient Monitoring) technology.
At their booth, the company will introduce clinical application cases, explain the technical architecture, and host product briefings and one-on-one consultations for medical professionals.
Founded by experts with Ph.D.s in Biomedical Engineering from Yonsei University, MEZOO has been developing digital healthcare solutions based on biomedical telemetry technology to continuously monitor patient vital signs both inside and outside the hospital.
Currently, HiCardi is supplied to approximately 53% of tertiary general hospitals in South Korea, establishing itself as a next-generation patient monitoring platform.
◇ aRPM: A Mobile Remote Patient Monitoring Platform
Traditional hospital patient monitoring systems are primarily centered around operating rooms, Intensive Care Units (ICUs), and specific special wards.
While fixed, wired monitoring equipment is designed for stable surveillance at the bedside, its high cost and the burden of building central control infrastructure often limit its use to critically ill patients.
Consequently, in general wards—which account for about 80% to 90% of all hospital beds—it has been difficult to maintain continuous monitoring of vital signs. "Monitoring blind spots" persist within hospitals, particularly when patients move between wards or during transport for tests and procedures, leading to intermittent gaps in data.
Recognizing these unmet medical needs, MEZOO developed HiCardi, an ambulatory Remote Patient Monitoring (aRPM) platform.
HiCardi is not intended to replace existing ICU-centric equipment. Instead, it is a platform designed to expand existing systems—which are currently bedside-oriented—to a ward-wide and, eventually, a hospital-wide scale.
Its goal is to create an integrated monitoring environment for the entire hospital by seamlessly connecting patients in general wards, those in transit, and those in isolation units.
